Rep. Sean Shaw (D-Tampa) speaking about his bill to protect the Sadowski Trust. In the wake of natural disasters, stagnant wages and a growing separation of wealth, Florida is suffering from an affordable housing catastrophe and concern is growing statewide. The Florida Legislature has been eroding the Sadowski Trust fund, which supports the state’s affordable housing initiatives, since 2002. The Sadowski Trust allocates 70 percent of its appropriated money to the SHIP program which provides money to local governments to create and preserve affordable housing. The other 30 percent goes to the State Housing Trust Fund. Lawmakers have swept over one billion allocated dollars away from the program and into the state’s general revenue fund. And the Florida Housing Coalition’s Jaimie Ross says many Floridians are suffering. “You’re talking almost a million people who are very low-income households who are paying more than half of that income that they have…

[Rendering courtesy of American Land Ventures] ST. PETERSBURG — Buoyed by the success of its existing downtown apartment tower, a Miami company is moving ahead with plans for another one.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston gets ready to throw against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Photo by AJ Sisco/UPI injured quarterback Jameis Winston apologized Wednesday for sparking an incident that led to wide receiver Mike Evans’ one-game suspension. Winston also said that he had his throwing shoulder examined by orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews on Tuesday. The 23-year-old Winston admitted he needs to exhibit better control of his emotions after he pushed Marshon Lattimore from behind, prompting the New Orleans Saints rookie cornerback to turn his attention toward him. Evans, presumably in a bid to defend the injured Winston, drilled Lattimore from behind in an action that set off fireworks between the NFC South rivals. "I just want to apologize on behalf of my teammates and Mike Evans for the incident that happened in the Saints game. That’s something I can’t do in the heat of the moment,"…
